Okay, well I finally updated. This chapter was really hard to write, and it's the most simplest chapter I could have ever written and I had the hardest time. But the next chapter will be easier to write and it won't take as long. I promise!

At the end of the chapter I have added Character Descriptions so if any of you readers forgot what the characters look like then it will help you. If it doesn't help answer a question that you have about a specific character or even the story then just private message me.

Well hope you enjoy the chapter. I will update sooner this time.

Oh and don't forget to review! Thanks.

:D

My body trembled with excitement, and butterflies filled my stomach. I'm finally going home. I thought. I kept fidgeting with the seat belt buckle, wanting so bad to be there already. "Are we almost there?" I asked for the hundredth time. I saw Daniel roll his eyes in the rear-view mirror before he sighed and said, "Yes, we are finally here."

The car slowed and turned down the familiar driveway leading us to the house I knew and loved. I peaked out the tinted window and saw Kelly in Chris' arms smiling and giggling at whatever Chris might have said. As the car stopped I quickly unbuckled my seat belt and jumped out of the car. In which I paused and smelled the familiar woods smell that seemed to have calmed the butterflies in my stomach.

"Victoria!" Kelly was walking towards me with her arms spread wide, welcoming me into a hug, which I happily accepted. "I have missed you so much." I met Chris' gaze and he gave me his warm gentle smile, and a small wave. "I know I have missed all of you guys." I managed to say, holding back the happy tears. Kelly released me from her hug, and reached up and started to comb through my hair. "You look absolutely beautiful." She turned around towards Chris, "She has changed so much. Don't you think so Chris?" Chris smiled and shook his head in agreement.

The familiar tickle began to form in the back of my throat, and my stomach began to rumble. I froze in place. No, not right now. Please no. I thought. I closed my eyes and focused on trying to take the tickle away before something terrible happens.

I looked behind me and saw Kyle walking towards the garage with his stuff in his hands, and Daniel in the trunk retrieving his baggage. I was hoping that they already knew what was happening and was ready to take me into the house, but they were busy doing their own thing.

A warm hand touched my shoulder, causing me to jump. "Tori, are you okay?" Kelly's sweet voice soon turned into concern. I swiftly turned towards her with a smile on my face, trying to hide the fact that I was really thirsty. "Umm, Yeah I'm great." I spun back around to face Daniel's back, as he walked toward the garage.

Great. Right when I need you, you leave me.

"So Tori, I hear your wanting to go to school?" Chris said behind me, interrupting my thoughts. I didn't bother to turn around, I was too afraid. They smell so good. I thought. A vision formed in my head of me pouncing on Kelly and Chris and draining their blood, which seemed to have satisfied the tickle in the back of my throat. I opened my eyes and I felt a tingling sensation flow through my body. I was wanting so bad to bite them.

I slowly turned around and faced Kelly, who was no farther than a couple feet away. "Yeah. School. Fun." I said through clenched teeth. Kelly's happy expression turned into a frightened one, causing her to take a step back. As I took a step closer, a firm hand was pressed on my shoulder.

Daniel. You reek of wet dog. I knew he was reading my mind.

"Mom, Dad, I think Tori should come inside. She has had a long hectic week." Chris wrapped the startled Kelly in his arms as he shook is head in agreement. "Yeah, I think that would be best."

Daniel imitated Chris and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, leading me towards the house. "Are you hungry?" He whispered in my ear. A low growl formed in the bottom of my throat. "Okay, that's a yes." He said with understanding.

We walked through the front door and turned into the kitchen, where he seated me in a chair. He walked towards the refrigerator and opened it, revealing bottles of reddish almost black liquid.

"Is that--" I started saying, but Daniel turned towards me and smiled. "Yeah, me and Kyle got a whole bunch of it before you came home. We wanted to be prepared." He stated proudly. He grabbed one of the bottles, closed the door and handed me it before he sat down across the table. "Now drink." He suggested.

I hesitated, but began opening the bottle, which caused the tickle in the back of my throat to form again. I slowly brought the bottle to my lips, and began taking in small sips. It was satisfying to my taste buds, but my mind was telling me different.

This is terrible. Humans don't drink this. Nobody should have to... I'm a monster. I thought.

Daniel who was looking towards the floor flashed his glance in my direction. "Tori, you need to accept who you are. Your a vampire now. It might take you a while to get used to things, but you can't get used to things if you don't accept it." I took my last big gulp, which caused this weight to be lifted off of my shoulders, but I was still disgusted with myself.

"How would you know how I feel?" I asked. Daniel's head fell into his chest. "I may not know what it's like to drink blood, or do whatever vampires do. But I'm still different, just like you." I stared into his dark brown eyes, which caused me to really see the pain in his eyes. It caused me to see everything he had to go through in his life time. "I'm sorry I snapped." I muttered under my breath. This whole situation seemed to have taken an awkward turn, but luckily for me it was soon interrupted.

"Hey Daniel, Mike called. There is a situation in Cypress woods. We need everybody." I turned to see Kyle leaning on the wall with his arms folded, waiting for Daniel to respond. Daniel got up from his seat and I followed right behind him.

"Can I go?" I asked, with eagerness. Daniel stopped in his tracks and turned on his heels. "Tori, you are a new vampire. Do you seriously think we would take you?" I gave him a blank stare. I knew I could take on anybody. Even though I might not have 'super strength', I am quick. "Uhh, yeah." I replied.

"No." He quickly said before following Kyle out the door. "Please don't do anything stupid while were gone." Daniel closed the door behind him.

Now what am I supposed to do? I thought to myself.

I turned and began walking up the stairs, heading to my room that hasn't been touched since I have been gone. I walked down the long hallway, peaking in each room to make sure no one was hiding. When I reached the door to my room, I hesitated. Not sure why, but something in my gut told me something wasn't right. I opened my door and walked in my familiar green room. Everything was normal, and put in place. I slipped off my shoes on the way to my bed, and fell onto it. I grabbed my pillow and placed it over my head, shielding the light coming through my green curtains. As I squeezed my pillow, I heard a crumpling sound coming from the inside.

I took the pillow off and reached into the pillow case, grabbing something paper-like. As I pulled it out, I noticed it was an envelope with my name written in cursive on the front, which I quickly flipped it around and pulled off the gold seal holding the flap together, and pulled out the paper. I opened the folded paper and neatly written in cursive it said:

Dear Victoria,

I am writing this letter to inform you that I was here earlier. I can't write much, for Aidan would be suspicious on why I was here for so long. Aidan sent me to check to see if your brothers brought you back here, and if they did he wanted me to bring you back with me. So I am going back to him and telling him that you and your family have moved. Going back to Aidan without you will be hard, he definitely will not be happy. Please do not wonder why I am doing this. Victoria you may not want to hear this, but he misses you terribly and he is determined to get you back no matter what it takes, even if it takes to kill your whole family to get you back. I did not wish to be the one to write this to you, but I had to.

Aidan and I will be going to Italy with or without you, to finish some "un-finished business", but we will head back here to find you. So that will give you and your family enough time to move far away. Please do not live life thinking you are free from Aidan. He will find you eventually, I am sorry you have been stuck in this situation, but I do not believe someone who has a great life now, such as yourself, should live such a horrible life, such as with Aidan.

Please listen to the letter, and once again, I am truly sorry.

Sincerely,

Alaric

I folded the letter and sat it next to me on the bed. I was in shock, and I didn't know what to think of it. "I have to hide this." I grabbed the letter and quickly stuffed it back in the envelope, which I then placed it under my mattress. "Nobody can see this." I muttered to myself.

I got up from my bed and walked over to my covered 'window-doors' and pushed the curtains aside. The bright sun blasted through the window, causing me to hide behind my arm. With my other hand I opened up the door, and stepped out onto the balcony. I walked to the edge and leaned over to look on the porch to see if anyone was there. Then I took a peek at the woods to make sure no one was in sight.

Tori, there is no one out there. I turned and walked back inside my room, Your just paranoid. I added. That's when I smelled it, something nasty. I crinkled my nose and tried fanning the smell away, but it just seemed to have made it worse.

I smells like... like... a very dirty wet dog. The smell was familiar to me, but I just couldn't figure it out. But when it did, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

Collin.

I started to follow the smell, which lead me into the hallway and down the stairs. I paused next to the front door where the smell was stronger, but when I peaked out the side window there was no one. I sniffed again and followed the smell to the back sliding glass door, the smell was intense here. I pulled back the curtains, and jumped in shock.

"Oh my god. Collin what are you doing here?" I said through the glass. He looked like a mess. His clothes were dirty and brown, and he was drenched with either water or sweat.

"I was uh, visiting." He said before laughing. I started to open the door but one thought caused me to stop. "Wait a minute-- Daniel sent you here to check on me!" I reached for the cord that pulls the blinds open and close but he slammed his hand on the glass.

"No wait-- he didn't. I heard that you were home alone, and I was too so I thought we could enjoy each others company." He said quickly, so I wouldn't close the blinds on him. I hesitated and thought about it, but unlocked and opened the door. "You better be right. I don't need to be checked on." I said with a low growl. I turned and walked towards the kitchen with him following right on my heels. "So why aren't you with the guys?" I said while getting a water bottle out of the fridge, and handing it to him.

He sighed. "Mike said that I need to train for another two weeks before I can go out with them." He took a sip of his water before continuing, "I know I could drain blood from anything and anybody as fast as they can--" He paused after seeing my expression. "Sorry I didn't mean to mention anything like that."

I shook my head and began fidgeting with a loose string that was hanging from my shirt. I could feel his eyes staring at me, so I lifted my head and met his hazel gaze, which formed a smile on his face.

"Do you have any other shirt that I could put on?" I was startled by his question, but quickly walked around him and headed to the laundry room. "Yeah, you will probably be able to fit into one of Daniel's shirts." I handed him a warm shirt from the running dryer, in which he accepted with a smile. "Thank you." He muttered before taking off his wet shirt. He revealed a six pack, and nicely defined muscles which caused me to turn away. Holy cow.

I turned back around when I knew he was done. He smiled revealing his pearly white teeth, "Do you have a bag for this?" I rushed over to the shelf above the washer and grabbed a plastic garbage bag, and handed it to him.

"So, what happened?" I asked while pointing to his wet shirt. He laughed, "Your not going to laugh right?" I shook my head 'yes'. "Well when I was heading over here, I changed into wolf form and I brought extra clothes for when I change back, and while I was running they fell out of my mouth and landed in a puddle. Then--" He wiped some of the access water from his hair onto me, "--I changed back and tripped and fell into a bigger puddle, that's why I'm really wet."

I pinned my lips together; trying not to laugh, but it came out in one loud laugh which caused me to laugh even harder. "Hey-- you told me you wouldn't laugh." He said in between smiles, which just caused me to laugh even harder. "I am so sorry. I'm just picturing your face as your-- tripping ." My stomach started to hurt so I grabbed my sides, hoping that maybe will help it.

As my laugh slowed and my stomach felt better, I stood back up, but just seeing his expression and him with his crossed arms made me laugh and made me grab my stomach again.

A low growl started to come from him. "That's it." All of a sudden I was being picked up and thrown over his shoulder. "Collin what are you doing?" I managed to say in between laughs.

"Your--" He began pretending like he was actually crying. "--your making fun of me." We walked into the family room and he threw me down on the couch. "Your a bully." He stated while getting down on the floor to sit next to me.

"You know... you picking me up was unnecessary. I was tempted to bite you." I snapped my jaws together; biting the air. He did his usual smile but quickly stuck his tongue out, which I did the same.

"So what do you want to watch?" Collin had the remote and turned the television on. But my mind seemed to have wondered back to the letter. I really didn't want to move. I was finally fitting in this place, and Daniel and Kyle have their pack, and their 'saving lives' thing here, so I wasn't sure if I should tell them. But I knew if I didn't tell them about the letter, I would be jeopardizing their lives.

"Helloooo--" Collin's hand was being waved in my face. "Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head 'yes' and gazed back into Collins bright hazel eyes with a smile on my face. Something started to form in the bottom of my stomach and it wasn't butterflies like I was nervous, but something lighter, and softer... it's like my mind was telling me that I was wanting Collin to be more than just a friend.

"What?" He smiled, once again revealing his perfect pearly white teeth. "Do I have something on my face?" He reached up and wiped down his whole face. "Or is something in my teeth?" He brushed his teeth with his finger, which caused me to laugh.

Maybe I could wait a couple weeks...maybe months before I tell them...I think I need to get to know Collin a little more.
